A "transmission arm" broke early this afternoon in the city where my brother and parents live, leaving about 1/5 of the town without power (just under 10.4 thousand). Naturally, my charming brother didn't bother to text me until FOUR HOURS LATER to say that he still had power and mom & dad were with him. I hadn't had the TV on all day and hadn't heard anything about it. Aunt was without power too. Heat index there today was 108° F at 3pm. Can't find anything that gives trivial little details like why the line broke. 😕 He txt'd back a bit ago to say that mom & my Aunt had power but don't know about dad yet. Just glad that mom & dad had a place to go. Hate to think of the other elderly people in their buildings that didn't have anywhere else they could stay.

This has been some winter. Snow covers most of the US: See that blank spot in the middle of Tennessee? That's where I live. We have had a cold, wet winter, including record low temperatures...but no snow. Monster snow storms have passed by to the north, then to the south, then to north and south simultaneously. And here we sit...no snow and dry streets. Not complaining, you understand...just enjoying a little slice of global warming. For what it's worth...Al Gore lives here too.

This is not about climate change, so much as this years weather... I just heard that that Mississippi is drying up, down from 5 miles to half a mile I was just wondering what weather is like wherever everyone is Montana, USA: Hot, Dry with thunder and showers every so often. Mostly just hot, at least for us, which is to say constantly in the upper 80's and 90's and probably 100s a few times...

Just been watching a TV doc on Britain's weather in 2012. It was a weird year. It started off with a drought then from June onwards it just rained and rained [we were lucky that the weather was so good during the London Olympics]. By the end of December, 2012 had become the wettest year on record in England. One feature has been the nature of the rain - often it has been severe and intense with monsoon type conditions occurring in many areas of the country, quite different to the "temperate" conditions we normally expect. Sometimes these intense events appear to have been caused by "super cells" generated where hot and cold air masses collide. A serious consequence has been the frequency and extent of flooding. In December the Thames Barrier flood protection system was used for the first time in two and a half years to protect London from flooding. Flood water is nasty stuff, because it's not just water. It's got mud and branches and all sorts of hazardous stuff and if it's fast flowing can be deadly. Worse, it includes raw sewage when drains back up into the main sewage pipes. Kids often play in this stuff but it's dangerous. So were any weather records broken in your country in 2012?
